July 7th is Konpeitō Day! I talk about Konpeitō, sugary sweet that was introduced to Oda Nobunaga from Portugal during the Sengoku (War States) period in Japan. I am also talking about the history of sugar in Japan.

七月七日は金平糖の日。戦国時代にポルトガルから伝わり、信長が初めて口にしたという金平糖についてお話します。 日本のお砂糖の歴史についても触れています。

Check out my previous episode (ep 24) for the relations between Nobunaga and Konpeitō.
